15 # @BiosAtaTranslation:
16 #
17 # Policy that BIOS should use to interpret cylinder/head/sector
18 # addresses. Note that Bochs BIOS and SeaBIOS will not actually
19 # translate logical CHS to physical; instead, they will use logical
20 # block addressing.
21 #
22 # @auto: If cylinder/heads/sizes are passed, choose between none and LBA
23 # depending on the size of the disk. If they are not passed,
24 # choose none if QEMU can guess that the disk had 16 or fewer
25 # heads, large if QEMU can guess that the disk had 131072 or
26 # fewer tracks across all heads (i.e. cylinders*heads<131072),
27 # otherwise LBA.
28 #
29 # @none: The physical disk geometry is equal to the logical geometry.
30 #
31 # @lba: Assume 63 sectors per track and one of 16, 32, 64, 128 or 255
32 # heads (if fewer than 255 are enough to cover the whole disk
33 # with 1024 cylinders/head). The number of cylinders/head is
34 # then computed based on the number of sectors and heads.
35 #
36 # @large: The number of cylinders per head is scaled down to 1024
37 # by correspondingly scaling up the number of heads.
38 #
39 # @rechs: Same as @large, but first convert a 16-head geometry to
40 # 15-head, by proportionally scaling up the number of
41 # cylinders/head.
